Rain Wreaks Havoc

July 21, 1996|The Morning Call

A house in Brookville, Jefferson County, is nearly submerged in Red Bank Creek Friday morning after about six inches of rain fell on the area between midnight and 10 a.m. Floodwaters broke a dam above the town and did severe damage.

Gov. Tom Ridge declared an emergency in eight counties, with Jefferson, Clarion and Indiana counties among the hardest hit.
